Talk:Facial nerve

Merge
Should definitely be merged. It's the same darn thing. Geekish 05:45, 30 November 2006 (UTC)S

The two smaller sections contain too little information, and most is overlapping. Either more information be added to the smaller articles, or they be merged into the larger one. Cedar_ren 13:33, 20 Jan 2016.

Infra-orbital block
This injection anesthetizes the distribution of the infra-orbital nerve as it emerges from the infra-orbital foramen.

Firstly, this mechanism of facial palsy should not be termed Bell's Palsy, which has a specific meaning (i.e. viral).

Secondly, I have not heard of this injection causing a facial palsy. An inferior alveolar nerve block placed too posteriorly may deposit local anesthetic into the substance of the parotic gland, through which the 5 branches of the facial nerve run. It is the injection which many textbooks refer to as causing a facial palsy.

Therefore, I am reverting the article to how it was before. Lesion ( talk ) 12:03, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
